The speakers of the workshop are young researchers from some of the leading philosophy departments and research groups in Europe. They will present some of their recent work in metaphysics and/or the philosophy of language. The topics will range from questions about the nature of time, vagueness, identity, and chance, to questions about certain modalitites, linguistic context and speech-acts.

When will it happen?

From the 3rd to the 5th of September 2008.

And where?

Humboldt University of Berlin, Department of Philosophy.
Unter den Linden 6, Room 3103 (on the second floor of the
east wing; if you enter through the main doors, the east
wing is the one on your right).

The workshop will be open to the public. It is organized by Phlox, a DFG funded research group on the philosophy and logic of explanation.
